having a 3yo brother means i get exposed to kids\u2019 shows way more often than i thought i would at this point in my life, but man, binge watching thomas the tank engine as an adult is a wild fucking experience

\n

all these trains (and there\u2019s like 20 counting locomotives alone, don\u2019t even get me started on the anthropomorphic train cabins) are MAD competitive the whole time and will constantly fuck up their own whole day by tring to prove they\u2019re the biggest baddest train. and like, i understand that you gotta get you plot from somewhere and i imagine plotlines like this happen in cars etc. as well, but the other day i was watching and i noticed that all these goddamn locomotives have DRIVERS in them. that apparently have no control over their train\u2019s actions at all whatsoever. so these trains wake up, pick up their drivers, go to work, get taunted by another train who\u2019s like \u201cha ha i see u there with your 4 cabins but did you know i can pull SIX cabins and still fucking book it at 80mph\u201d and the 4 cabin train will be like\u00a0\u201cfuck it i gotta prove myself now, hook me up with 4 more cabins\u201d and will inevitably derail themselves or some shit while the engine driver just shuts up and kicks back the whole time

\n

i explained this to my brother and was like, is that fucked up or what, but he just pointed at the green train and went\u00a0\u201cthat\u2019s percy\u201d so i guess that\u2019s his take on the situation
